This all began as an idea for a Halloween tag. I was captivated by the idea of several paper
skeletons hanging from paper clip hangers - whimsy (right?) - and so I made
these for the tag. While I was cutting
some of my paper skeletons in half; creating little bone shirts and pants, I couldn't escape the idiom “skeletons in my/your closet”. After that,
I couldn't seem to incorporate these ‘garments’ into any of the tag
backgrounds I was creating – what was always missing was the illusion of a
closet (and I was now obsessing).

So, how do you make a tag feel like a closet? After much creative consideration and
crafty consternation;

Lately,
I have received a lot of emails asking me; how did I emboss the Yellow Brick
Roads and various backgrounds on my Oz inspired series of tags?
I hope the following post & pictures help better demonstrate this
process. If you still have questions, please ask, I'll always answer what I can (and guess at the rest).

I would like see what creative an cleaver combinations you are creating with this process. If you send me a link to you project - I'll be by to ogle & aww.

A year ago today, I made my first
tag and created this blog, just so I could ‘play along’ with June’s twelve tags of
twenty-twelve.

The continuing monthly challenges
in Tim’s 12 tags of 2013, and the inky pinky promise I made to myself to
participate, are all a part of the consistent commitment to creativity that inspires
me to share.

The welcome and support, the
amazing global community Tim has cultivated, extended to me is more I ever
could have imagined.
